The many recognitions Jenny has received include the 2006 Salem College Young Alumna Award, the Triad Business Journal’s “40 Leaders Under 40” designation and a profile in BizLife Magazine as a Triad “Mover and Shaker.”

“I am delighted to welcome Jenny Stokes back to Salem and to the Institutional Advancement team. I am confident that her previous experiences and achievements will benefit Salem College during the exciting years ahead,” says Vicki Sheppard, Vice President for Institution Advancement of Salem Academy and College.
